AARON NEVILLE and LINDA RONSTADT - Don't know much REACTION - Two incredible voices!

[@sandrafryer4425]

I could listen to him sing all day. What a beautiful voice

[@surlechapeau]

One of the greatest duets of all time. They had chemistry and respect for each other as well.

[@debbiechang5781]

I think Linda often moderated her voice so as not to overpower the person singing with her. This was their performance at the 1990 Grammy Awards. They won the award for this song and Aaron was so nervous during the acceptance speech that he forgot to mention his wife until Linda nudged him to remind him. It was very sweet. The record company was “uncomfortable” with their affection for each other and that didn’t sit well with Linda, so she made sure to kiss him and put her head on his shoulder! I love it! She is great at sticking up for what she believes. Great reaction Harri 🌺✌️

[@jansjodahl3009]

I asked my husband (professional sound producer) if the sound folks modified her volume..he said nope..her talent and ability allowed him to shine

[@frankpeter6851]

My feeling is that she very much genuinely want to be as close to Aaron Neville as she could be

[@deloresredman4792]

So wonderful that she did that

[@marterisher2335]

Isn’t it the most heartbreakingly gorgeous song? Neville is a rare treasure with that angelic voice!

[@jartotable]

❤️ Linda tended to always give her duet partners the room to shine. She was so humble with her gift. She wanted them to shine. I've seen her do this so much when she duets live.

[@denisepaul7274]

I saw an interview with Linda on tv after this song became a hit. I don’t remember her exact words, but she said something like “everyone sounds better when they sing with Arron Neville”

[@segzy05]

aaron is a god

[@johnj2763]

Every time I see this, I cry. The sheer beauty of the song and the performance is overwhelming. Linda is always incredible but Aaron's voice is unique, special and majestic. The vibrato is out of this world. He is a King. When he sang this recently at the tribute to Rondstadt at the Kennedy Center honors at almost 80 years of age, he knocked it out of the ballpark once again.

[@k_salter]

I had goosebumps and wet eyes before the first "I don't know much." One of THE most beautiful songs.. EVER.

[@shadsullivan7817]

This is talent that no longer exists in music these days. Pure, and raw, and if you take away the electronics, it would till be perfect. Singers these days use filters, and I cannot stand that robotic voice these singers have now. This is real, and full of soul!!!!!! Thanks!

[@ednoponen2943]

You are right on, Harri ! This is indeed one of the greatest duets ever. Wonderful reaction to a great suggestion.

[@kevinadamson5768]

This should be everyone's first wedding dance song. 😊

[@love68]

I agree with everything you said!👍😃👍🙏💛

[@susanpeterson9947]

Not only two of the best voices ever, but two fine human beings as well. I love that Linda, having been warned not to stand too close to Aaron or display too much affection, did exactly as she pleased. Their love and respect for each other is wonderful. Thanks for your excellent review!

[@oldspiritart]

Aaron, oh Aaron. He’s amazing, smoother than honey, and I’m always amazed when I hear someone say they don’t care for him, I’m like WHAT? R u deaf? I adore Aaron, but this piece with Linda, my queen, in the ‘70’s and beyond, is just making me melt into a lil puddle. Wow, an overdose could occur listening to them together, so sweet. This has always been a favorite on my and I’m sad each time it ends, so I hit replay.😍

[@Lakeshore14]

Such a fantastic collaboration between two fantastic singers. One of my all time favorite songs.

[@willmacintyre649]

I think Linda wanted Aaron to shine tonight and she may have held back just a little on her own vocals! Aaron was incredible and Linda let him shine on this night live!

[@patrickreilly7256]

How old am I? How old is time? I remember the Stone Poneys before Linda Ronstadt. The Neville Brothers before Aaron Neville... and LOVE before before there was LIGHT.

[@mellemellbc]

This. Damn. Song. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Best duet ever performed/recorded hands down!!!!!!

[@chamberlainwonder369]

This song look like it just sang today..powerful song that will remain in the meseaum of art forever

[@loisrogers2511]

I'm seeing you smiling all the while, and I'm doing it too, with tears in my eyes.

[@tammyammons195]

That's the good stuff. Voices you just don't hear today.

[@FolkSongsEtAl]

Aaron Neville will always be one of the best singers I've ever heard. Utterly brilliant, not to take away from Linda who was brilliant.

[@carolyng5044]

I remember the first time I ever heard Aaron Neville. WOW...what a voice, what a talent. No one can sing like him. Then Linda Ronstadt...well, in my book she is the best female singer I have ever heard. To put these together to sing...OMG...grab the tissue box, and love the best duet ever. Bravo to them both...even to this day.

[@michaelsmith5021]

Aaron Neville is a one of a kind voice. The man is amazing and Linda Ronstadt just sings so beautifully.

[@epona1969]

This is one of the most beautiful combinations of harmonies and Aaron's voice is so unique! It touches the soul. . .

[@Urugami45]

OH, and one more thing. Aaron and Linda traded collaborations; she released the "Cry Like a Rainstorm" album, and Aaron released "Warm Your Heart" at about the same time. Several duets on each, all of them worth hearing.

[@kevinadamson5768]

Everything about this song is beautiful, the lyrics the melodies and the passion. Got to be the best love song of all time, tears me up every time. 😊

[@highwayblues638]

I saw Aaron perform this song live , outddoors at the Montreal International Jazz festival. He knocked it out of the park... Wow .. that voice is real ......

[@TD402dd]

Two great professional giving their best.

[@leeyaferguson9019]

His Ave Maria is outstanding. Check it out!!

[@lanamatlock2561]

Aaron Neville has the most amazing voice. I could listen to him nonstop. Especially "The Grand Tour"

[@dsusan17]

This is so beautiful. Two beautiful voices. I love Aaron Neville. That doesn't take anything away from Linda. She also does a great duet with Peabo Bryson. Aaron Neville covered George Jones song Grand Tour. It is wonderful. Great reaction Harri.

[@karenc1564]

Aaron has such a spectacular voice. And paired with Linda Ronstadt....perfect. Aaron also did a version of George Jones' "Grand Tour". so glad you were able to find this version.

[@davidhaak-royston8168]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bobcumbers9225]

She’s my crush forever. I would give anything to have her look at me like that

[@jnkoa33]

This was live. No engineeers. There is a video by a British guitarist with long black hair (he has a KZbin channel) of the "science" behind their voices and why Linda was quieter in the beginning then was more matching with Aaron at the end. The voices were done that way on purpose. Nice video. Thank you very much!

[@lizmcbride5659]

That"s Fil, from Wings of Pegasus

[@donlawson3330]

Aaron and the Neville Brothers! And the Meters! Go there!

[@amt9289]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@scm021374]

I just love the chemistry between them on this. They look like a couple.

[@george217]

Aaron Neville's niece, Arthel, is a co-anchor for a weekend show on Fox News.

[@jackiesconiers4230]

Thanks for keeping great music alive!

[@karenj3611]

Lightning in a bottle. Doesn't get much better than this. When they finished recording this in the studio, Aaron said to Linda, "I'll see you at the Grammys "

[@k_salter]

Great reaction, beautiful song! Agree, Linda's voice could've been louder here, but still...🥲

[@celestelittek7360]

This song was our wedding waltz 30 years ago and our love is just growing deeper ❤❤❤😊

[@kentclark6420]

I just flashed on a couple oldies by the Left Banke you'd like- 'Walk Away Renee' and 'Pretty Ballerina'.

[@sandgrownun66]

🎵Peaches & Herb | Reunited | Midnight Special (1979) is another must watch. 🎶

[@armywife1641]

Aaron’s voice will just melt you ❤️

[@rogerkelly7988]

This is an iconic performance Linda is a legend but Arron Neville is a treasure he's done so many duets with other artists and when they step to the microphone they better bring their A game because Arron even on his worst day will out sing them I've seen him live with his brothers down in New Orleans at their club they are all talented as hell and put on a helluva show but Arron is such a treasure

[@MikeCoggan]

I saw her tour for this album in 1989 and The Neville Brothers opened and then Aaron came out and sang the duets with Linda.

[@gemini3392]

What could be better?

[@cathyhetzel5944]

I saw Linda in concert and she was great. Aaron is beyond the beyond! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Two great artist!!

[@katherinebosse5706]

Aaron Nevilles voice has always literally made me swoon! His rendition of “Bird on a Wire” written by Leonard Cohan is just transcendent! I would love to see and hear you react to it Harri. ❤️‍🔥 it is well worth the listen. Peace. ❤️‍🔥

[@susieq9801]

Aaron looked like a big scary muscular dude and then out comes the voice of an angel.

[@lgeyser1]

As close to perfect as it gets! Two great voices, great song. Thank you, Harri!

[@carollittle1059]

Get ready for a treat. They got a huge stadium ovation. Check out Neville Brothers band. Prayers for Linda, has horrible health problems

[@Kelvdog1]

What a live performance of perfection. No comparison to the garbage at the Grammys now.

[@goldenruletv7301]

Master class. Two of the most incredible voices ever in my opinion. I listened to Linda all the time as a kid as well as Heart and the Eagles. Thank you, Lord.

[@karenj3611]

Haha, Harri I think you were actually swooning

[@debbiemccain5850]

Please do Tell It Like It Is and The Grand by Aaron...so good!!🎶🎵🎶

[@twwtjohns]

Chills!

[@2299jsimon]

Fabulous... glad you enjoyed it.

[@nancy9891]

I remember seeing an interview about this song that when Aaron and Linda finished recording it, Aaron said, “I will see you at the Grammys” because it was a killer song and won a Grammy in 1990 for best duo as well as being nominated too for song of the year. Two powerhouses given their dues that evening for the world to see. They did another duet together but did not win a Grammy.

[@billofalltrades2633]

A great song by amazing artists !

[@jeansalzman2.012]

Glorious! The song... and your reaction. The joy on your face inspires me. And it takes a lot to do that! Thank you for another great reaction.

[@stevemariman8769]

Her duet with James Ingram "Somewhere Out There" is great too!

[@aliciahager2961]

What a duet!

[@kathrynchestnut6637]

I had forgotten this duet. How wonderful to hear it tonight. I have enjoyed both of them for so many years. I am old enough to remember when it was new. Now I may cry as well. Thank you for playing it for me and everyone else who loves them.

[@johnfleming6236]

Of course you missed the kiss heard around the world by closing your eyes at the end! 😮

[@deecal2001]

One of my favorite duets. Right up there with Barry Gibb & Barbara Streisand Live in concert.

[@heyou702pc]

Such a beautiful song by two great singers.

[@jamestaylor2920]

Two icons of music at the heights of their careers. Absolutely stunning! I am sorry to note that since 2011 Linda can no longer sing due to a degenerative medical condition.

[@johnflynn5044]

Nobody like him.. His take on Bird On A Wire is sheer joy and this little duet is timeless and beautiful.. Linda has a rare talent for duets and harmonising, knowing exactly when and when not, to be close to the mic and how to pose herself out and sneak back in .. Shes a real pro Loved her collaboration with Paul Simon on the Graceland Album although Id have preferred Mariam Makeba had not been replaced !

[@glsdaisy]

Listen to them singing "When Something is Wrong With My Baby"!!

[@glsdaisy]

...and "All My Life"!!

[@crsounddoctor4937]

This masterpiece is an iconic classic!!! These two in this performance are unmatched & untouchable!!!

[@sandgrownun66]

🎵"Faithless love - Linda Ronstadt - live 1980". Another gem I just found.🎶

[@leelewisesq]

I saw them sing this live in Austin, Texas in the 1980's.

[@DJHolte]

You've probably heard Aaron's 1966 hit song "Tell It Like It Is" -- but if not, you should definitely check that out. Aaron's son Ivan Neville also had a minor pop hit in 1988 with a song called "Not Just Another Girl" (kind of sounding a bit like Seal, imo).

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@sharonpate5481]

Thanks Harri! This is my favorite duet ever! Aaron Neville is fabulous and Linda is perfect as always 👵🏼💙

[@Cashcrop54]

Hey. I just yesterday saw an analysis of this using pitch monitoring software. The very thing about Linda's voice was discussed and they said she did that on purpose to leave a place for her voice to go and they'd seen her do it before. There is a point where Aaron does the same. Beats me. Maybe a bit of both.

[@mic1240]

She has sung so many genres of music, her American standards with Nelson Riddle conducting went platinum (after record execs said no one would by from queen of rock. Her Spanish language album remains top selling non English album in US of all time).

[@debbiechang5781]

My request for the month of April is Linda live with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra 🌺

[@BV-nx6vq]

Great call for the mixing of this live take...always felt this was out of balance compared to the studio version....beautiful nonetheless, and Aaron's superb vocals come thru loud & clear

[@terrylynnheinrich8777]

Outstanding!

[@itchyandred4131]

Their voices blend so beautifully 🎶

[@dagmar.6954]

One of the most beautiful duets. Both have fabulous voices. Linda had so many hits such as "Hurt So Bad", "You're No Good", "Long Long Time", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado", Tracks Of My Tears" etc. Linda also did a few albums called Trio with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris.

[@denisepaul7274]

Blue Bayou is my favorite Ronstadt song. And of the Trio songs, I love their version of Mr. Sandman

[@susanbenson4201]

The whole album is a master class in vocal genius!! Another incident of a Supreme being putting two people together. “Cry like a rainstorm.”

[@eviekelpie1]

It's a beautiful duet, so emotional. Another great duet is Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram, Somewhere out there. I'm sure you heard it Harri

[@deew5587]

React to another song they did together called "All My Life". Simply Amazing!

[@mikemurphy1700]

check them out doing " When Something Is Wrong With My Baby " shot on the streets of New Orleans....perfect duet

[@Urugami45]

I went to a concert with Linda and the Neville Brothers in San Diego a while back. During their duets, Linda and Aaron were having some fun with it, and it seemed that during one of the songs, they tried to see who could go higher (note-wise) as they sang. Aaron won 😂😂😂 They both have incredible voices, and we are the lucky ones to have heard them join together.

[@rafehr1378]

[@rollomaughfling380]

If you want to see more Linda live in her prime, Harri, check her out doing The Rolling Stones' "Tumblin' Dice" and then a just killer rendition of her version of "You're No Good" with a legendary group of studio legends actually on the road with her here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3PKZpakpLOsd6c. This happened 20 minutes from my house when I was 10, and if I could go back in time, I totally would have been there. I adored Linda, even at that age.

[@DaniloGuintu-d5i]

This is great performance. Please, react to a live on the stage cover of this song by a Filipino married couple, the Sweet Notes. Thank you.

[@janetmyre3023]

Beautiful!! Love!! Aaron and Linda together. Two at the top of their craft. Oh, wow.

[@susanstavrou4232]

Agree

[@2zxodcfm]

If you enjoyed this, Harri, find these two gems together performing Song of Bernadette which was co-written by Leonard Cohen. It is truly a thing of beauty which I'm sure will move you.

[@Fnipernackle]
